The concept of security lies at the heart of many of the current international legal regimes. At the same time security interests prompt nation states to define their national interest in different ways. This interdisciplinary degree provides an in depth understanding of both International Law and International Relations pertaining to modern security issues, such as responses to terrorism, responses to the use of force generally and responses to threats to environmental security.

Are you thinking of a career in international law or international relations, as a legal practitioner, an adviser to government, within the military or police forces, or working with or for intergovernmental organisations such as the United Nations, or NGOs such as the Red Cross/Red Crescent?

Our LLM is taught by an expert, multi-disciplinary team of international lawyers and political scientists. It allows you to study contemporary issues, both from a legal and international relations perspective. With more than 20 modules to choose from, it also allows you to focus your studies along your interests and future career plans. The course is relevant to anyone wishing to pursue a career in international law or international relations or to those who want to broaden their horizons and learn about current global issues.

About this course

Graduates of the International Law and Security programme have gone on to work in private law practices, central and local Government, international agencies and several have moved on to doctoral research and academic careers.

Dundee Law graduates have reached the highest levels of success in the profession as senior partners, Queen's Counsel, judges and as front bench politicians. In addition, the focus of the programme on global issues and affairs provide a strong basis for pursuing a career in international law and international political contexts, such as the European Union or the United Nations.

Alternatively, the programme can be a stepping stone for work in civil society, such as charities, environmental organizations or other international non-profit organizations.

Graduates can also put their communication, research and analytical skills to work in a range of careers in the public or private sectors, including education, finance or the media.

With its distinctive interdisciplinary features and distinctive opportunity to combine theory with practice, graduates from this course are highly valuable to employers as they gain expertise across at least two disciplines.

Applicants must have, or expect to receive in the anticipated year of entry, a good honours degree in Law, International Relations or a related discipline; applicants with alternative qualifications and/or relevant experience may be considered.
